This is more or less what I feel about all this. Sure, the tweet was a bit unnecessary and she could have handled it better. But the frustration behind the tweet is completely justified.
To be honest even though this comment won't do Gaga any good because no one has a sense of humor, but it's a tongue-in-cheek wink to all the "Gaga copied ______" comments, pointing out that perhaps she does set some ideas.
I know there's no wink face or any reason to take it as not serious, but it's pretty messy to reason that she was sitting there all fuming and wild that Katy jacked her ideas - especially when it's as trivial as a stupid horse or a hair colour.
Starting to think things would have been better if she started with Gypsy and ended the era with Applause. Do you think G.U.Y. was always going to be a single?
That horse is a blatant copy yet everyone seems to pretend its just a coincidence, i'm sick of people coming at gaga for the littlest things yet others can completely rip her off and get away with it, I'm glad she called it out, it's not like anyone else wants to acknowledge it
OK guys, there is a website online called RateTheMusic. Basically, radio programmers always look through a wide array of sources to determine what songs are potential hits that will draw in more listeners. RateTheMusic is one of those sources, and it has been proven to work (when “Applause” topped the Top 40 survey, it helped it rebound and peak in the top 5; topping the Rhythmic survey also helped “Applause” go top 20 on that format.).
This week, “G.U.Y.” was added to the top 40 survey. Here are the steps on how you can help the song:
1. Sign up for an account on RateTheMusic.com (remember that this helps for radio stations in the US, so if you live outside the US, use an address from the US and an accurate ZIP code, to make your votes more believable)
2. Take the Top 40 weekly survey. For your votes to count, you must go through every single song and finish the survey. For every song, there are 3 survey sections. The first asks if the song is familiar (do you know it, basically). The second asks your opinion on the song. The third asks whether you are tired of hearing the song. When you get to “G.U.Y.”, enter that the song IS familiar, that you “like the song a lot”, and that you are NOT tired of hearing the song.
4. Spread the news. You can only complete the survey once a week, so it’s better to have multiple people completing it. Reblog the post on tumblr, tweet about the survey, tell your fellow fans on other social media platforms about the survey, etc.. It’ll all help to make “G.U.Y.” a hit.
